really liked it
bookshelves: science

I borrowed this book through kindle unlimited. It is an excellent astrophysics book for the layperson.
However, it is chock full of scientific information about the universe, electrons, neutrinos, etcetera.
A solid 4 stars.

Amy I took a "astronomy for non-science majors" as my science requirement. I loved it. It had some math but nothing too difficult. I love it when this stuff is accessible for me (I'm not great at math and the hard sciences but I love space. LOL) Thanks for the review, this is one I'll look for, for my permanent collection!

You're Welcome. I also struggled with science and math in college.
